KWZ Iron Gall Blue #2. This is an ink that I’d classify as almost a traditional gray-leaning blue black, except it has enough blue to lift itself into special territory. It’s a great-looking dark blue black that behaves beautifully.

Konrad is a wizard, a Modern Master. I have a vial of this still to try, from when I ordered a couple fistsful of samples from him.

He really is. I am in awe of his creativity and facility, how accomplished he seems, right from the start. You’ll forgive the poetic analogy, but it’s almost like watching Athena springing fully grown and armored from the head of Zeus. 🙂
Also, he and his wife are not only dedicated, but they seem like wonderful, lovely people.

I agree, they are both lovely people. Yes, he is a chemist by trade, but as you say he’s hit home runs from the start.

Those other iron gall inks – in the first swatch photo – well they look positively anemic next to the KWZs!

Great review! I’m impressed with how blue it is, especially compared with the others. I don’t normally do iron gall inks, but I’m interested in this one 🙂 That #5 is also really pretty. I like that touch of green it has 🙂
